WAYS OF DOING THINGS:

Глагол to manage в значении "успешно с чем-либо справляться, суметь что-либо сделать" не характеризует этого действия. Глаголы этого ряда подчеркивают трудность, неожиданность появления или другие обстоятельства того, с чем человек может или умеет справляться. К этим глаголам относятся следующие английские глаголы и словосочетания: to cope with, to come/to get to grips with, to have something under control, to overcome, to rise to the occasion, to take something in one's stride, to succeed.

To cope with - "успешно справляться с трудной проблемой или каким-либо затруднением": I told her I couldn't cope, I wasn't well enough я сказал ей, что мне с этим не справиться, я еще не совсем здоров; she is very inexperienced, but I am sure that she can cope она еще очень неопытна, но я уверен она справится; young Sam coped very well with his father's sudden death Сэм, несмотря на свою молодость, стоически перенес смерть отца; we must find a new way of coping with the situation нам надо найти новый способ справиться с создавшимся положением вещей.

To come/to get to grips with - "осознавать серьёзность и трудность чего-либо и серьёзно подойти к этому": the company has failed to come to grips with their financial problems компания не смогла осознать и справиться со своими финансовыми затруднениями; teachers must be prepared to spend time getting to grips with new technology преподаватели должны быть готовыми к тому, чтобы посвятить много времени овладению новыми технологиями; no country had really got to grips with the problem of nuclear wastes ни одна страна ещё не разрешила проблему ядерных отходов.

To have something under control - "владеть, справляться с существующими в данный момент трудностями, держать что-либо под контролем": the police claimed they had the situation under control полиция заявила, что держит ситуацию под контролем; the flight was very bumpy but the pilot assured us that everything was under control в полёте была большая качка, но пилот уверил нас, что всё находится под контролем; we thought they failed to keep the things under control мы считали, что они не смогли контролировать ситуацию.

To overcome - "преодолеть трудность, справиться с трудностью, снять трудность, снизить опасность": I have always wanted to overcome my fear of spiders мне всегда хотелось преодолеть свой страх перед пауками; the school overcome the problem of funding by getting local firms to sponsor them школа преодолела свои финансовые затруднения, добившись того, что местные фирмы стали её спонсировать; he is a clever fellow and I'm sure he well overcome the difficulties он умный человек и, я уверен, преодолеет свои трудности/справится со своими трудностями.

To rise to the occasion - "успешно справиться с неожиданно возникшими трудностями, оказаться на высоте": Steve, who was seldom surprised by anything, rose to the occasion at once Стив, который никогда ничему не удивлялся, тут оказался на высоте; there was a moment's silence then Ella rising to the occasion said: "Please, come in, gentlemen" на минуту воцарилось молчание, а затем Элла, быстро оправившись, сказала: "Пожалуйста, господа, входите".

To take something in one's stride - "спокойно и уверенно справляться с неожиданной или трудной задачей": they never get upset, they take everything in their stride они никогда не расстраиваются, они спокойно справляются с проблемой; Liz seems to be taking the divorce in her stride Лиза, по-видимому, спокойно воспринимает развод.

To succeed - "преуспевать, успешно что-либо сделать": we succeed in making contact with the kidnapper нам удалось установить связь с похитителями ребёнка; if you try your hand to get into a medical school, I'm sure you will succeed если вы очень постараетесь, то вам удастся попасть в медицинское училище; if you were trying to cause trouble in the family then you have succeed если вы пытались причинить неприятности в семье, то вы в этом преуспели

Note:

This much-used verb has no multipurpose equivalent in Italian and therefore it is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = preparare il pranzo. - Get is used in many different contexts and has many different meanings, the most important of which are the following: obtain or receive ( I got it free = l'ho avuto gratis), move or travel ( I got there in time = ci sono arrivato in tempo), have or own ( she has got black hair and green eyes = ha i capelli neri e gli occhi verdi), become ( I'm getting old = sto invecchiando), and understand (got the meaning? = capito?). - Get is also used in many idiomatic expressions ( to get something off one's chest etc), whose translations will be found in the appropriate entry ( chest etc). - When get + object + infinitive is used in English to mean to persuade somebody to do something, fare is used in Italian followed by an infinitive: she got me to clear the table = mi ha fatto sparecchiare la tavola. When get + object + past participle is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else, fare followed by an infinitive is also used in Italian: to get a room painted = fare verniciare una stanza. - When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich / drunk etc), diventare is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry ( rich, drunk etc) as a single verb often suffices ( arricchirsi, ubriacarsi etc). - For examples and further uses of get see the entry below

Note:

This much-used verb has no multipurpose equivalent in Italian and therefore it is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = preparare il pranzo. - Get is used in many different contexts and has many different meanings, the most important of which are the following: obtain or receive ( I got it free = l'ho avuto gratis), move or travel ( I got there in time = ci sono arrivato in tempo), have or own ( she has got black hair and green eyes = ha i capelli neri e gli occhi verdi), become ( I'm getting old = sto invecchiando), and understand (got the meaning? = capito?). - Get is also used in many idiomatic expressions ( to get something off one's chest etc), whose translations will be found in the appropriate entry ( chest etc). - When get + object + infinitive is used in English to mean to persuade somebody to do something, fare is used in Italian followed by an infinitive: she got me to clear the table = mi ha fatto sparecchiare la tavola. When get + object + past participle is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else, fare followed by an infinitive is also used in Italian: to get a room painted = fare verniciare una stanza. - When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich / drunk etc), diventare is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry ( rich, drunk etc) as a single verb often suffices ( arricchirsi, ubriacarsi etc). - For examples and further uses of get see the entry below
